Andyh's - Dragon Beach

Great pictures, and even better Video. :thumbup:
Nice to see your crystal red shrimps settled in and reproducing.
Do you intend to keep the plant growth at its present level,or allow the growth to develop further.
Its hard to believe the tank has only been set up 38days, and i thought fissendens was a slow grower.

Nice one.
 
Hey give me shout if you want some HS from the my next prune be happy to send you some.
Thanks for the offer Andy, but I think I will stick with the HV for now, see how it works out.

Cheers

Cheers ! Trying to keep the plants well pruned and shaped in this scape, as in my previous one it soon grew out!

My fissidens is growing very well, not that slow at all ;)

Looking forward to your new journal!

Day 57

Not much to say just snapped a few quick pics tonight, nothing special. Just thought i would post them up for you guys to see. The Blxya is growing really well. I think i may move some bits round on the right side to allow the blxya to spread a little more, as i really like the way it looks.

Plan on doing fairly hefty maintenance in the next few days, so will give the Glosso a good prune back and also tackle the moss.

Thanks for looking :thumbup:

Frodo, dont wear my ring, I know its very tempting...... :lol:

Wild Andy, wild like Mordor . Looks great mate.

If I was to be picky and its really is a minor detail, ( could be your camera ). The far right corner blends into a mass of plants and its hard to see the distinction. You've mentioned a prune is due, so Im sure it will bring it all back. But for the purpose of submitting pictures to comps in the future, its worth looking at making the plants be a little more individual and stand out next to their peers.
It will be difficult to get a digital image that will do your scape justice.

Good work brother! :thumbup:

Graeme, have you been sniffing at the easycarbo again? Frodo, Mordor and ring references or have you just watched the boxset! :lol: :lol:

I get what your saying, my problem is a like the natural/wild look and getting decent photos is always a challenge. I am going to try and get some separation between the plants and rocks. When taking a photo I do struggle with making a particular plant "jump out at you" if you know what i mean? Any tips Frodo?

Very nice Andy :) That fissidens is going mental!
Its growing very well, going to have to trim soon. :D

No worries dude! Good luck!


My tank will be coming out of the kitchen soon, as need to make room for all the baby-equipment as we are expecting a baby girl in July. The other good news is the fact that i will be setting up a tank in my lounge so watch this space........ :woot: :D :D :D :D :D :D :thumbup: :crazy:
 
So with the help from my Dad, i stripped down this tank tonight and moved all the stock, plants, equipment etc to my tank in the garage as a temporary home. Big task and catching all the shrimp was a real challenge! My new tank is due in a couple of weeks so check my new journal!
